About Maurice Cooper
A collection of teapots begun in 1974, when Ronald Hooper, a previous owner of my business 'Bygone Beautys' came across a special teapot. In 1992, we joined forces to create 'Bygone Beautys' and continued from there to grow the collection. This Treasured Teapot Museum reflects and preserves the diversity of Australian tea-drinking culture. We have now become the largest private teapot collection in the world and have a reputation in the Blue Mountains. In 2009, 2010 and 2011, Bygone Beautys have been awarded the Hall of Fame award for both peoples choice as well as community contribution on behalf of CR Daniel Myles (Mayor of Blue Mountains City Council), Dave Garner (President, BIZNET) and Randall Walker (Chair, BMLOT).
Maurice Cooper purchased this Studio in 2015

Long weekend in Leura
We found the property the be spacious, clean, warm and well appointed. The location is great being a 5 minutes walk to Leura shops and away from the crowds. Would highly recommend The Chapel. If staying with another couple at The Chapel be aware that the main bed is not private but this is obvious from the photos.
Hi Vanessa

Kind Regards

Lacking privacy
While the setting was lovely and the gardens gorgeous, the accommodation offers very little in the way of privacy, which made our stay a little less comfortable than we would have hoped for.
Dear Lisa Thank you very much for taking the time to write this review and also for your positive comments regarding the garden. Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay at The Old Chapel Your comments in regards to the gardens and setting are much appreciated In regards to the privacy issue we try to make our photos as clear and comprehensive as possible. There are 22 photos on stayz in regards to the Old Chapel The Old Chapel has the main bedroom elevated on what was the original Chapel Altar with the lounge area being where the nuns would have sat in the Chapel area. This is clearly shown in the photos however I can understand that if guests are staying in the second bedroom (which has it's own bathroom and 2doors with a corridor separating for privacy) and they wish to go into the kitchen during the night, they may feel a lack of privacy with the main bedroom being so open. The Convent may have suited your needs better, however it was not available for the dates you had requested.
Simple and comfortable
We spent 2 very comfortable nights in The Priest's Cottage. The cottage is equipped with all of the basics and then some. Quiet, private, well priced and within very easy walking distance of Leura shops. Decor is a bit eclectic but that is a minor issue. Recommended
Dear Margaret, Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and hope that you will be back again in the future.
